‘Til Death Do Us Tweet

Hey guys, if you’re looking for a unique way to pop the question to that special someone but skydiving makes your nose bleed and you’re afraid the old ring-in-the-champagne routine could require a Heimlich maneuver, you can always follow Greg Rewis’ example and just Tweet her.

Yep, when proposing to his gal, Greg just whipped out the old cell phone and let Twitter do the “on-bended-knee” stuff. Don’t snort. It saves time and wear-and-tear on the crease of your dress pants. Why, you don’t even need pants this way. You could just stay at home in your boxers, pop the Tweet during a commercial and not miss a single moment of American Idol.

Of course, after Greg and his main squeeze got that bothersome romantic bit out of the way, they did the only sensible thing—a Twitter wedding. The pair had about 10 friends over for the ceremony and sent their marriage vows out on the web in 140-character-or-less increments. Think about it: Thousands could attend, maybe even send wedding presents, but Greg didn’t have to fork out a dime to feed them all at a reception. Hey, he didn’t have to shave or even wear a shirt if he didn’t want to.

Don’t tell me this new technology stuff doesn’t have it’s advantages. Are you with me, brothers?
